My first WSB of the year
 

After months of weekly fishing in LJ it finally pays off. I was pretty much in shock when I got this baby on the boat. I think my friend said my lip was shaking. It had been way to long without a good fight or bite.

I had been trying to catch a rock fish all day. I had finally given up, and was trying for something bigger. I ended up hooking up within 5 minutes. Luck and maybe some skill.. I was under some pressure since my friend caught a nice thresher that morning. both were released.


just kidding, kept the wsb.

46 lbs.. oh and sorry a bit late. caught 3/23/2011 10 am.

Well done! Nice fish....Time on the water pays off sooner or later.:luxhello:

Sure beats catching a rock fish :cheers1:. Nice WSB!

One heck of a rock fish!

Mine always look like a sculpin!

Congratulations!:):):)

Nice fish Sharon! I heard the rumor last week and figured it must have been you.

NICE :wsb: :you_rock::cheers1:
what a Fatso!!!

Wade

:cheers1:
congrats
great fish!

Awesome. Pass the :wsb:(luck) this way.

That thing is a pig!!! You are such a badass sharon! I especially love the dangling mack. Bet your friend who caught the thresher was just as excited for you! ;-)

Pete no love this morning? Good to see you out there... I guess T-sharks are better than nothing. Epic conditions.

Awesome Pictures. Love the Mac hanging out! :wsb:

Congratulations, Sharon. No need to apologize for the late post. I remember that day very well. I was sitting in a meeting thinking about the beautiful weather, and wishing I would be on my kayak. Your post gives me the motivation I need to stop wishing and just go fishing.

i think I was more stoked for you guys on the beach than you were, was wondering when this picture was going to surface. That thing was a beast..

Hey Chris, good to see you. No love today. Unlike Sharon, all I got to pull on was a thresher. I figure its just gets me in shape for my 1st WSB this season.

That fish would look alot better in my hands!



Congratz. so jealous

Those pics are great! That fish really helps. Yeah, the mac in the background is great. Hard to believe you are sitting in the ocean.

Nice fish !
 

Who needs fishfinder , GPS , mirage drive etc...

I have all of those, and can't catch WSB this big !

Congratulation ! :luxhello:

a better day
 

Looks like you had a better day than the one a couple weeks ago when I met you and Steve. I guess I'll have to visit you sometime soon. Nice fish.

Nice :wsb:! Thanks for sharing

Nice ... congrats!

:luxhello:

da-da-da-daayyyyymmmmm!!!!


sooo.....did you catch that on the "super top secret mackerel jig" :biggrinjester:


Nice Fish!!!

Great report. That is a beast.

Ha ha. the picture is deceiving. I didnt catch the fish with the mac! maybe a relative of him...

next time make sure you take your picture while sitting sideways on your kayak. Otherwise people might start to think you caught that fish on your own :D

beautiful fish btw... inspiration to say the least

:you_rock:

Nice catch, and wonderful weather. Congrats.

very nice, congrats. that should hold you over until the next one.

That is a purdy one! :luxhello:

Now thats screensaver material:pNice job.....

that's a good'n

I'll hire ya....Nice fish. Sheeet, I got skunked today, again!

You Rock! :cheers1:

That photo made me load up the truck tonight so I can get right back on the water.

Time to get in the yak
 

Pete,

I'm off tomorrow hitting Santa Barbara hoping for anything. I'll let you know if I get have any luck.

Greg

Hey Sharon! nice game clip & all so the WSB...:cool:

First time I have ever said this...

Beautiful pics, a beauty of a fish...:notworthy:

Way to go Greg, good luck. Any time you want to try LJ, let me know and we can hook up. We'll just follow the fishy lady in the yellow kayak.

Fantastic Fish! congrats
